can anyone give me a quick break down of wat it wud be like if i did a staggered wheel setup on my civic coupe 95. basically wat im looking at is 15x7 +25 front and 15x8 +20 rear. im not into autocross, even really drag, i jus dun wanna do this and find out that my car turns left when i wanna go right? anyone maybe.

 

Your car won't ride horribly, if you get the car aligned properly. As long as you don't run much toe, and the camber is the same from side to side, you shouldn't have any HUGE driving issues. You will notice a significant drop in grip with stretched tires and heavy negative camber, but if that's the look you're going for... you should be expecting that anyways.

 

yea. that doesn't worry me

 

not hating or anything but why run staggered? all the mean is you can never rotate your tires which increases wear.

 

Reverse stagger ftw.

you have a fwd car you don't need wider tires in the back.

 

running a staggered offset can serve two purposes.
1) for looks
2) for performance - on an FF car, this will provide some better rotation of the rear while turning. FF staggered wheel offsets are used often in Japan, with Honda's, in Super Taikyu racing (N1) and local folks (in Japan) who attend road race events. Normally, the rear wheel offset is kept stock or close to stock offset while the front is a wilder offset.

I personally have a set of track use wheels with a staggered offset of 15x8 +35 front and 15x7 +45 rear, honestly I can't tell if it helps me rotate in turns better or not. I think the impression is pretty minimal.

BoostnB20, you will not have 4wheel steering issues if you have a proper alignment done to your car, especially with the toe settings. If you you have too much positive rear toe, pray the Rosary you make it home safe! Positive toe is waay scarry in high speed situations, trust me, I've experienced it first hand.

 

1) for looks. im not into racing my car. i jus want it to look good....
